Their is no longer an anticipation or excitement for our sales
Their is no longer an anticipation or excitement for our sales because we are always on sale. One Day sales weekends were insane. People looked forward to friends snd family. Now VIP, Ultimate shopping, 2 friends and family are all the same and now... — read more
Does it make sense to consolidate further?
I don't see enough progress in the stores. Staffing is slim, standards continue to slip, and the product assortment is not compelling. I'm curious to hear some ideas. If you were the CEO what actions would you take to get things back in order?

Interesting that some recent posts have been deleted? Too much truth?
We need to focus on customer service and experience
Macy’s needs to focus more on “Customer Service” and the “Customer’s Experience” rather than pushing their CREDIT CARD! Instead of making a BIG freaking deal out of a colleague getting 8 credits in a day, how about a BIG freaking deal for the way... — read more
Field Service may come back in-house
Look what happen when they out sourced facilities maintenance to SRI about 20 years ago. Only lasted a few years before it went back in house. I'm going to miss my many friends in MST
The Macy's Technology executives that come up with the plan to 'outsource' MT Field Services will keep their jobs and probably get a bonus...
Well, if finally happened.... The guillotine finally dropped. It's actually a relief after 5+ years of wondering "when" and not "if". For those of you that still care about Macy's future, not to fret. They will continue to bring in multi-million high... — read more
Flex positions
Have all flex positions being eliminated?
Field Services Outsourced
Internal announcement today that all of Field Services has been outsourced to NCR. Around 350 are losing their jobs. Not sure if NCR can do the job Field Services did, I always had a great relationship with that team.
Why do you stay at Macy's?
It's obvious that we are failing on all fronts and I don't see us recovering any time soon - if ever. I'm still here mostly because of the people I work with, I am probably in one of the very few stores that have great teams all together, but even... — read more

Macy's end of the year b---s---!
It's the end of the year where Macy's tries to make the yearly sales number by having daily conference calls about budgets and hours. Only letting stores spend to budget and not on credits from programs thus creating backlog for every store and... — read more
Receiving changes
I work in a district where 5 stores receiving schedule were changed on the days of a truck. Normally the shift on the day of a truck would be 6a-3pm it's now going to be 12-9pm. Not a big deal since it's retail but they had us sit down with the... — read more
RTM vs MTM
what does RTM stand for? are they cutting the MTM's in certain stores?
Poll: what cuts are Macy's going to do this year
What are your thoughts?
Store layoffs
Anyone hear if management in stores will be severanced out this year? MTM's? Figured with the restructuring of ap/ops from last year and them taking over some of the mtm's role, this was the writing on the wall.
Macy’s in 2019
Left a few years ago and thought I made a mistake seeing the stock improvements in 2018. That was until the holiday results were released. Macy’s still needs to close doors. It doubled in size after the May merger. Closing 100 more doors in markets... — read more
DM Elimination
Im seeing lots of open DM positions on taleo. I know most jobs are on freeze until February...but could this be an inkling to the DM’s being phased out?

Macy’s faced its problems
While reading this article on the reinvention of Macy’s and its stores I gotta admit that it looks to me like the company did the right thing. Store closings and the uncertainty that came with them were hard on everybody and I’m sure that, at some... — read more

The writing has been on the wall for several years now

No denying layoffs

Thanksgiving Pay
Every year since Macy's has been open on Thanksgiving we've been paid time and 1/2 for working it. I just looked at my paycheck that I will get on 11/30 and I only got straight time. I hope this is an error and not Macy's being Macys.
Path to grow
Congrats to the stores that made 3rd quarter plan And hopefully most of us make 4th quarter But does anyone one know when 3rd quarter will be paid out ?
